Produced by the Nabisco Division of Kraft Foods, Oreo cookies have been around since 1912. Oreo cookies are recognized for their two thick chocolate cookies with a white creme filling. Through the years variations of the Oreo have been released such as double-stuff Oreos, mini Oreos and chocolate covered Oreos. Chocolate covered Oreos combine the traditional Oreo cookie with a milk chocolate covering.

Carbohydrates

Chocolate covered Oreos contain a significant amount of carbohydrates and sugar due to certain ingredients such as sugar, enriched flour and high fructose corn syrup. One serving of chocolate fudge covered Oreos contains 13g of total carbohydrates for 4 percent of the daily recommended intake and 9g of sugars. Mint Oreos, however, contain 25g of total carbohydrates per serving and 18g of sugars. Both types of chocolate covered Oreos contain 1g of dietary fiber.

Considerations

Other nutrients, vitamins and minerals in chocolate covered Oreos are found in small amounts. Protein, for example, is less than 2g per serving. Chocolate covered Oreos don't contain vitamin A or vitamin C. Small amounts of calcium and iron--2 percent and 6 percent, respectively--are in the mint chocolate covered Oreos.
